Licia Priest Artist Talk

Join KMAC and artist Licia Priest for an artist talk this Saturday, May 10th, from 2 to 3 p.m. Licia will discuss the development of her body of work in "I Am We, Crafting Community in Paper Tole." This event is free thanks to a grant from South Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Kentucky Arts Council.

​Since the mid-1980s, Louisville-based artist Licia Priest has been teaching art and developing a practice that combines her experiences in painting, fiber art, sculpture, and photography. Her most recent work emerged from a research trip to Zimbabwe. Photos from this trip are manipulated through digital color changes, merging scenes, and alterations to line, space, and shape. Priest then cuts up and organizes copies of her treated photos into multi-layered images that create depth perception. Her contoured figures and stacked layers become impressive, wall-mounted, high relief sculptures.
